Škoda Kodiaq vRS Insurance Approved Tracker
Professional Retrofits Ltd supplies and installs a Škoda Kodiaq vRS insurance approved tracker as a dedicated GPS tracking upgrade for drivers who need insurer-recognised security. Fitted at our workshop in Nuneaton, this service focuses on discreet, hard-wired installation and correct system setup for everyday use.
Although no single product can stop vehicle crime on its own, layered security can reduce risk and improve visibility if the vehicle goes missing. Therefore, we fit insurance-approved GPS tracking systems that support stolen vehicle tracking and recovery via a Secure Control Centre, and we can advise on options such as driver recognition where the chosen, insurer-approved system supports it. In addition, some Thatcham categories support optional immobilisation; however, this is only used where the product approval allows it and where it is controlled through the appropriate monitoring and escalation process.
Quick overview

- Thatcham-approved tracker options (S5 or S7, depending on insurer requirements)
- Secure Control Centre monitoring to support tracking and recovery

Neat, vehicle-integrated GPS tracking designed to meet insurer expectations
We install GPS tracking in a way that suits the Škoda Kodiaq vRS and supports insurer expectations for an insurance-approved solution. Because the tracker is hard-wired and integrated, it is designed to remain reliable in daily driving. Additionally, we aim for a tidy finish, so the cabin remains factory-like and the system stays unobtrusive.
Before fitting, we confirm what your insurer has asked for and whether they specify a Thatcham category. Then, we recommend a suitable tracker based on your requirements, your usage, and the level of monitoring needed.

Important fitting notes
- GPS tracker installation service only (no alarms, no parking sensors).
- Insurance requirements vary by policy and provider; always confirm what your insurer requests before booking.
- Tracking supports location visibility and recovery processes; it does not prevent theft on its own.
What’s included with our GPS tracker installation
We supply and fit Thatcham-approved GPS trackers that are recognised by many UK insurers. Moreover, we focus on a clean, reliable installation and a clear handover, so you know what to expect after fitting.
- Supply of an insurance-approved tracker: We match the tracker category to your insurer’s requirement where possible.
- Hard-wired installation: Designed to support consistent operation and reduce reliance on user charging.
- Secure Control Centre monitoring: Supports stolen vehicle tracking and recovery workflows when the system is active and subscribed.
- Driver recognition (where applicable): Some S5 systems use a driver ID tag; therefore, the monitoring centre can be alerted if the vehicle moves without recognised driver presence, subject to product design and subscription status.
- System checks and handover: We confirm basic operation and explain what you need to do to keep the service active.
Thatcham & insurance guidance (S5 vs S7)
If you are asking, “Do I need a GPS tracker for insurance?”, the answer depends on your insurer and policy terms. However, many UK insurers request a Thatcham-approved tracker for higher-value vehicles, performance derivatives, or certain finance agreements. Therefore, it is best to confirm the exact requirement in writing before you book.
- Thatcham S7: A monitored tracking category designed to support stolen vehicle location and recovery via a Secure Control Centre.
- Thatcham S5: Includes the monitored tracking features of S7 and additionally supports driver recognition on approved systems.
Although an insurance-approved tracker may help you meet policy conditions, it does not guarantee acceptance, reduced premiums, or a claim outcome. Additionally, tracking improves visibility and supports recovery processes, but it does not prevent theft on its own.
Tracking & recovery support (new installs and existing systems)
If your vehicle already has a tracker, we can discuss whether it can be supported, reactivated, or transferred, depending on the brand, approval status, and subscription. Alternatively, we can install a new hard-wired tracker that meets your insurer’s requested category. For additional background on monitored tracking options and coverage, you can also visit Vehicle Trackers Coventry.
Because recovery support relies on an active subscription and correct account details, we will remind you what needs to stay up to date. Furthermore, if your insurer requires proof, we can advise what documentation is typically provided by the tracker brand or monitoring provider.
Why professional GPS tracker installation matters for Škoda Kodiaq vRS
A professional install helps ensure the system operates as intended and remains suitable for insurer expectations. Therefore, we focus on safe integration, tidy routing, and correct configuration rather than quick, visible add-ons. If you need a Škoda Kodiaq vRS insurance approved tracker fitted to meet policy conditions, we can help you choose the right Thatcham category and install it correctly.
- Insurer-aligned selection: We help you avoid choosing the wrong category when an insurer specifies S5 or S7.
- Vehicle-integrated finish: We aim for a discreet result that suits the cabin and trim.
- Reliable setup: We check the tracker’s basic operation and guide you through the user responsibilities.
What to expect on the day
Customers bring their vehicle to our workshop, and we complete the installation during your booked slot. First, we confirm the agreed tracker category and any insurer notes you have. Then, we carry out the installation and complete functional checks. Finally, we provide a handover so you understand subscriptions, driver ID (if applicable), and what to do if you need to report the vehicle missing.
Because insurers can request evidence, we also advise what confirmation is typically available from the tracker provider once the system is live.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a GPS tracker for insurance on a Škoda Kodiaq vRS?
Sometimes. Insurers set their own requirements, and they may request a Thatcham-approved tracker (often S5 or S7) depending on the policy. Therefore, check your policy wording or ask your insurer to confirm the required category in writing.
Which tracker is suitable: S5 or S7?
It depends on what your insurer specifies. Generally, S7 provides monitored tracking, while S5 adds driver recognition on approved systems. However, you should match the category to the insurer requirement rather than choosing based on preference alone.
Does a tracker stop the vehicle being stolen?
No. A tracker supports location visibility and recovery processes via a Secure Control Centre when active and subscribed. However, it does not prevent theft on its own, so it works best as part of a layered approach.
Is immobilisation included?
Some insurance-approved systems support immobilisation, but availability depends on the specific product approval and monitoring arrangements. Additionally, where supported, immobilisation is typically controlled through the monitoring and escalation process rather than as a user-operated feature.
Will fitting a tracker guarantee an insurance discount?
No. Some insurers may recognise approved tracking, but pricing and acceptance remain at the insurer’s discretion. Therefore, always confirm any premium impact directly with your provider.
Can you fit a tracker if my vehicle already has one?
In many cases, yes. We can discuss whether an existing tracker can be reactivated or transferred, depending on the brand, approval status, and subscription. Alternatively, we can install a new hard-wired system that meets your insurer’s requested category.
Where is the tracker installation carried out?
Fitted at our workshop in Nuneaton. Customers bring their vehicle to our workshop.
How long does installation take?
Times vary by tracker type and vehicle requirements. However, we will confirm an estimated fitting time when you book, and we will also explain what you need to do afterwards to keep monitoring active.
About subscriptions & monitoring
Most insurance-approved trackers require an active subscription for Secure Control Centre monitoring. If the subscription lapses, monitoring and recovery support may be limited or unavailable.
